Oooohh. Lucky Me! I just got my Laptop 3 days ago. It is Focking Awesome. Here are the specs...



Dell 5150

15.1 inch screen(1600x1200)

P4 3.06 Ghz with 533mhz. FSB

512Mb DDR Ram

64Mb Dedicated ATI Graphics Card

40Gig HD

DVD-Rw/CD-RW/DVD player



It has alot of cool things. I paid $1800 for it.

You can easily get it for 1500 without the DVD burner...



The screen is better then any other laptop I have ever used. I highly recommend this thing!!

I much agree with you on the dell laptops. Their keyboards blow - after (less than) a year or so, they keys would stick and not work as it used too.



Even if it's your money though, i'd consider a G3 laptop, and if they've came out with the G4s (haven't been up-to-date lately with the laptops....) I'd get it.



I'd also recommand the toshiba Satellite. Good cpu. I'm using one right now as a matter of fact. Out of the three I've used from various folks - I haven't had much of a problem yet....



Then again, I rarely like Windows, so that should tell you something ( Meaning, it's been a gerat proccessor caring a winblows OS.... and has done wonders with me using it).

Also if you get a laptop Look at the screen resolution and most of all battery life. I was looking at a Vaio because it had a nice screen and everything mine has for the same price. Only difference is that the battery life was barely 2 hours!! Mine gets 4!! Never thought I would say this but get the Dell!!





And the Screen is a UXGA.....Better clarity then the basic SXGA
